The writings on the wall
Egyptian symbols are everywhere! You can buy them on t-shirts, see them in movies and music videos, and find websites dedicated to discussing and dissecting their meanings. But what do these ancient Egyptian symbols really mean? Let’s explore a handful of famous symbols and discuss their significance for the people who created them. Let's start with the most famous symbol, the ankh. The word "ankh" in Egyptian means life, so it represents not just life, but eternal life. It can be found on sarcophagus lids and in the hands of the gods. Some say it looks like a sandal strap, but that's not true. Another similar symbol is the knot of Isis, but its meaning is uncertain. The ankh is believed to represent birth and the continuity of life. It is a feminine symbol, with the top part representing the womb and the bottom part symbolizing the birth canal. The line in the middle represents the moment of birth, which is a significant point between life and death. Another symbol is the Coptic cross, which is inspired by the ankh. It is a symbol of Coptic Christianity, the primary denomination of Egyptian Christians. The Coptic cross has similarities to the ankh and the Orthodox cross. Some Coptic organizations use the Coptic cross, while others stick to the simple ankh. It's fascinating to see how these symbols have evolved and are still relevant today.

ALIENS were our GODS in the past?!
Human beings hold steadfast to their beliefs, a natural inclination that obstructs the acceptance of diverse thoughts on a subject. In the case of God, our species seems to prefer the divine entity as an enigma, possibly to align with our ideologies and reinforce our convictions. The mysterious nature of God not only intertwines with our history and origin but also prompts us to search for answers, perhaps by gazing into the vastness of the sky, stars, and space.

A day in the life of a Roman soldier
In the year 15 CE, the Roman Empire is doing very well. Most of the credit for this success goes to the emperor, but it wouldn't have been possible without loyal soldiers like Servius Felix. Servius joined the army eight years ago when he was 18 years old. He came from a poor family. Unlike most soldiers, he doesn't gamble, so he saved most of his pay. He also kept three gold coins he received when he joined, which he'll get back if he serves for 25 years. He has a girlfriend back home whom he wants to marry, but he has to wait until he finishes his 25 years of service, which is tough and dangerous.
